I mean I grew up leftist, punk rocker, etc and all my formerly niche opinions are now in the mainstream. On the other hand, I also grew up Muslim and I can say that being a practicing Muslim right now can feel very counter- cultural. Deali

I've done extended fasts and can see how they can be healthy if you don't push yourself too far and eat properly before and after. But why eat a chocolate bar in the middle? Once you get a fast going, you go into ketosis and start

Plus something being proven by a study, even if well done, still doesn't necessarily prove anything. It generally requires replication to confirm. People have this idea that if they find a study that says something and it looks very le

I notice there are certain arguments that come into popularity and suddenly you'll find people all over who love to interject it-- sometimes even when it's not related. The whole 'mother teresa was a terrible person' thi

I don't know how this is downvoted, other than people's reflexive distaste to being told they need to consume less. Say what you want, but you can't cheat science. The CO2 levels in the atmosphere are rising rapidly, and peop

There are multiple issues on which asking questions can get you deplatformed, or even threaten your career. I think there were always things that were considered too important to question in society, but those were traditionally relegated

I have suspected similarly. Skepticism and critical thinking are useful devices, but they can't always tell a truth from a lie. And even if they could-- humans aren't totally rational beings. Sometimes we believe lies because we w

It doesn't help that culturally people get extremely defensive about alcohol as well. Even if you bring up its huge negatives people will do everything to deny it

This probably is the smarter move to be honest. It'd be nice if you could admit your flaws and everyone else would say "it's okay we're flawed too we understand" and we can all move on. But in reality if you admit y

It's really something to think. There was real mystery in the world of natural science. For all you knew, those stories of dragons and giant monsters were true. Anything could be out there. I suppose there's still some mystery in
